MoRUS is pleased to welcome visiting activist and sociologist Dr. Syd Krochmalny to present a unique, video-documented study of reclaimed urban space through peaceful and creative activism in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The viewing and discussion will be followed by a Q&A with Dr. Krochmalny and a reception. Details here.
• Saturday, April 12: “Rent Rebels: Resistance Against the Sellout of a City,” Film screening with two showtimes, 6 PM and 9 PM
Berlin has changed a lot in the last years. Flats that once were unattractive are now being used as secure investment objects. Massive rent increases and the transformation into owner-occupied flats make affordable housing a rare good. The recent tenant protests are a reaction to this city transformation disregarding the lives of its inhabitants. The movie is a kaleidoscope of the tenants’ struggles in Berlin against their displacement.
